TRUMPF ended fiscal year 2025/26 on June 30, 2026 with sales of €4.34 billion, a marginal increase from €4.33 billion a year earlier. The more notable shift was in order intake, which rose to €4.5 billion from €4.2 billion in 2024/25. The company said this marked a return to growth after three fiscal years of decline.
Operating profitability also improved sharply. EBIT climbed from €59 million to €480 million, while the EBIT margin advanced from 1.4% to 11.1%. During the balance-sheet presentation, CEO Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller attributed the improvement to cost-cutting measures and portfolio streamlining. She also said the positive direction had continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2026/27, while noting ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions.
By region, the U.S. was TRUMPF’s largest single market in the fiscal year, generating €772 million in sales, up 16.8% year over year. Sales in Germany fell 6.4% to €655 million from €700 million. In China, the company’s largest market in Asia, sales declined 7.4% to €446 million from €482 million.
At division level, Machine Tools delivered the highest sales at €2.38 billion, up slightly from €2.36 billion. Laser Technology posted lower sales of €1.17 billion compared with €1.25 billion in the previous year. In the Electronics business field, sales totaled €458 million, a 3.6% increase from €442 million. The EUV business field, which supplies high-performance lasers to ASML, increased sales by 9.2% year over year to €791 million from €724 million.
Headcount stood at 17,583 employees worldwide as of June 30, 2026, down from 18,303 a year earlier. In Germany, employee numbers decreased 7.1% to 8,675. Of that total, 5,350 worked at the sites in Ditzingen, Gerlingen, Hettingen and Höfingen. TRUMPF also reported 616 young people completing an apprenticeship or co-op work-study program, lifting the training ratio to 3.5%, and said 2,914 employees were working in research and development. R&D spending amounted to €492 million, down from €519 million, equal to 11.3% of sales versus 12% in the prior year.
Looking ahead, the company identified opportunities in electromobility, semiconductors, power electronics, manufacturing technologies for data-center build-out, smart factory solutions and services. It also highlighted humanoid robotics as a future-potential area. For the metalworking market, the central takeaway is that TRUMPF expects customers to resume machine fleet renewal after an extended period of restraint, alongside wider use of connected manufacturing offerings.
